As TravCon 2024 is over, we can’t help but reflect on the incredible experiences we shared with the medical travelers who joined us this year! The energy in the air was undeniable, filled with excitement and a shared passion for travel and healthcare. TravCon continues to be the biggest traveler healthcare conference, taking place in Las Vegas. 

Connecting with so many talented individuals, like you, was the highlight of our experience. We loved hearing your stories, sharing our knowledge, and creating new relationships that will last well beyond the convention. 

One of our favorite memories was passing out our swag, particularly our ‘Will continue to monitor’ hats! It was great to see everyone repping them and connecting over our shared love for Travel Nursing and Allied Travel. Don’t worry; we’ll continue to monitor our inventory and ensure that there are more fun items to share in the future! 

We’re also thrilled to announce our TravCon 2024 giveaways are over, congratulations to our winners! 

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, participated in our giveaways, and made TravCon 2024 such a success. We hope to see you all again next year for more connections, more stories, and, of course, more swag!
